The McIntyre Anterior Chamber Cannula Straight 30G is a specialized ophthalmic microsurgical cannula designed for controlled fluid delivery during compatible anterior chamber procedures. Featuring a McIntyre pattern and fine 30-gauge profile, this cannula provides a compact configuration for delicate ophthalmic applications requiring controlled fluid management.
The straight design offers a direct and predictable working profile, making it suitable for applications where a straight cannula configuration is preferred. Its 30G gauge provides a fine profile appropriate for delicate ophthalmic microsurgical setups. The exact working length, tip configuration, and connection design should be confirmed according to the specific product specification.
This anterior chamber cannula can be used with compatible fluid-delivery equipment, including an appropriate syringe, tubing, or irrigation system. Compatibility should always be confirmed before use because connection types and system requirements may vary between manufacturers and product configurations.
The McIntyre pattern makes this instrument easy to identify when organizing specialized ophthalmic instruments or assembling microsurgical sets. Its compact construction allows it to be stored alongside other fine ophthalmic cannulas and accessories while maintaining an organized surgical inventory.
Proper inspection is important before use. The cannula should be checked for visible damage, deformation, contamination, or obstruction of the internal lumen. Fine-gauge cannulas require appropriate handling and storage to help protect the working end and maintain an unobstructed fluid pathway.
The McIntyre Anterior Chamber Cannula Straight 30G is intended for use by trained ophthalmic professionals in applications supported by the applicable product labeling and clinical protocol. It can be a useful addition to ophthalmic microsurgical instrument sets where a straight 30G anterior chamber cannula is required.
The instrument is manufactured from appropriate surgical-grade instrument material for reliable handling and durability when properly maintained. Exact material composition should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s specifications rather than assumed from the instrument pattern.
Depending on the product configuration, this cannula may be supplied as a reusable or single-use device. Reusable versions should be cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized according to validated manufacturer instructions and the healthcare facility’s established reprocessing protocol.
With its fine 30G profile and straight configuration, the McIntyre Anterior Chamber Cannula provides a practical option for controlled fluid delivery in compatible ophthalmic microsurgical applications.

FAQs
What is the McIntyre Anterior Chamber Cannula used for?
It is designed for controlled fluid delivery in compatible ophthalmic procedures involving the anterior chamber.
What does 30G mean?
30G refers to the cannula’s gauge and indicates a fine working profile suited to delicate ophthalmic applications.
What is the advantage of the straight configuration?
The straight design provides a direct working profile and predictable positioning compared with an angled cannula.
Can this cannula be connected to an irrigation system?
Yes, when the connection is compatible with the selected syringe, tubing, or fluid-delivery system. Compatibility should be verified before use.
Is the McIntyre 30G cannula reusable?
Reusability depends on the specific product configuration and manufacturer labeling. Reusable versions require validated cleaning and sterilization.
How should this cannula be maintained?
Inspect the working end and internal lumen for damage or obstruction and follow the manufacturer’s validated cleaning, sterilization, and storage instructions.
Can it be included in an ophthalmic instrument set?
Yes. It is suitable for compatible ophthalmic microsurgical sets requiring a McIntyre-pattern, straight 30G anterior chamber cannula.
